I'm a self confessed lipstick addict, and with drawers full to the brim with lipstick products I just love to sport different looks for different occasions.

NYX is one of those brands that over the past year or so has really crept up in terms of popularity, and to be honest apart from a few bits I purchased years ago I hadn't really given it a proper go - please tell me you remember it being stocked in your local Next or independent makeup store? So now that NYX has become more accessible in the UK, popping up at beauty events such as Clothes Show, and in stocked in stores such as Boots and Selfridges, I couldn't resist stocking up on their products, and I wanted to share with you my top NYX picks!

Over the past year or so it seems that we have all fallen in love with mauve or dusky rose lips or as I like to call it a 90s lip, all thanks to a certain Kylie Jenner. It seems that the mauve storm has really hit us hard, and we are vying over the trend, making it perfectly acceptable to order several shades despite them all being practically the same. As mauves and dusty roses have become my favourite shade as of late to wear I wanted to share with you my favourite mauve lipsticks.

January is always an exciting time for lipstick lovers, as MAC launch their latest Viva Glam offerings, and this year Ariana Grande is the latest of a long list of celebrities to put her name to the worthy cause. The MAC Viva Glam range serves as part of their MAC Aids Fund which donates its profits to men, women and children who are affected by Aids and HIV, and let's be honest a little splurge is always necessary when you are donating to such a good cause.

Love it or hate it Valentine's is fast approaching, and for me I always find it a great excuse to get dolled up, whether I'm having a day out or enjoying a romantic evening meal. There is no better excuse to slap on some of my favourite makeup and just feel glamorous, and my routine is all about classic beauty in the form of glowy skin and a statement red lip. So with that in mind I wanted to share with you my Valentine's Day Makeup Menu.

Gwen Stefani is back with her second part of her Urban Decay x Gwen Stefani collaboration, this time releasing a stunning range of lipsticks and lipliners, an eyebrow kit and blush palette. As I'm trying to be good I knew I couldn't spend anymore money on lipsticks but instantly fell in love with the blush palette.

Primers are a real marmite product of the beauty world, I find that you either love or hate them. For the longest time I never thought that I needed to introduce primers into my makeup routine as it just seemed an unnecessary extra step which in cost took more time in a morning. However fast forward a couple of years and now I can't go my daily makeup routine without primers, as I not only find that they make my makeup last longer but it makes such a huge difference to pretty much all aspects of my makeup, helping it to just look more put together and with a nicer finish. So I wanted to share with you my top primers that are worth the extra step in your makeup routine.
